zookroo1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 HIs legacy will live on for many years to come. Thanks Floyd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsmoke Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nice touch Brent and thank you for representing the HOC. +1 The point was made earlier.....Nearly everyone who's purchased albums in the last half century has seen this mans work, and it's graced stages and been part of an emotional experience for millions. All from a simple guy who showed up to work in a dusty Michigan factory everyday for over a half century. Don't know that that kind of a legacy could ever be duplicated. I'm privileged to be connected to it even in some minuscule way. "We" spend so much time in pursuit of a rich life, and here's a lunch pail guy who truly left a mark. There's a lesson in there somewhere. cheers, Floyd. Rest in Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushover Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Really sad news. Add me to the list of condolences. I don't know if he finished my H guitars specifically, but I'll give him a fond thought as I pick them up, admire their beauty, and appreciate their resonance. I love the hands-on aspect of these guitars and it's a sad day when one of those sets of hands passes from this life. May the after life bring him the rewards he deserves.

I am sending flowers to the funeral home on behalf of The Heritage Owners Club....i think thats the least we can do to show our gratitude for all of his hard work he put into our guitars.

campfire Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 R.I.P. Floyd. Hard to believe all that knowledge and experience is gone, just like that. I hope he passed some of it on, so some of him may still live through his contributions. God Bless him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
